What Am I To Do?

The symptoms of Biliousness are nnhap-
PLY but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent. A
bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for iiquids but none for solids Of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events
The digestive system is wholly out of or

a symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or fiatulcnce
and tenderness in the pit Of the stomach.

The following extract is from a
speech made at the Nichols meeting
at Monroe by Col. Crandall, who has
announced himself as a candidate for
lieutenant governor. 1t is little odd
that the gentleman should have omit
ted the name of Governor McEnery
from the list of those prospective can
didates for governor with. whom be
would be willing to serve. Are we to
understand that should Governor Nc
Emery be the nominee, the gallant
colonel will refuse to accept the NOM
ination for lieutenant governor 4 Be
that as it may, we OF this writing have
a faint suspicion that he will not have
an opinion in the matter:

Democracy to be their standard bearer

Hon. NJ. j. Cunningham, of Natchito-
ches, or that pure and able urist, Hon.
Jchn. G. Moncure, or the distinguished
gentleman who sits on this platform
to-day, ! should feel proud to be asso-
ciated with any one of them in the
next administration of the affairs of
the people of the State, and to give
to the administration of any one of
them my heartiest cooperation and
support. | believe if l am elected to
this position it may be possible for
me, in a legitimate and honorable
manner, to exercise some influence

THE GOVERNORS CHARACTERS
TIC RESPONSE.

The Governor, says the Capitol'an'
Aduocate, having been apprized of the
singular objections that some of biz
political opponents had raised to the
invitation that had been extended him
to deliver an address of welcome at
the opening of the Central Louisiana
Fair, addressed letter, yesterday, to
Col. Boyd, declining the invitation, Of
which Col. Boyd, by request, had CIV
en- him verbal notification. The rea.
sons adduced by the Governor, in the
annexed letter, evince not only a pro.
per appreciation of the dignity of his
high Office, but also his we'll known
public spirit and hearty sympathy with
this commendable public enterprise
It ia now hoped that the public in gen.
eral will come forward and extend the
most liberal aid to the managers of the
Fair in their pralseworthy effort to
make it great success. Following
is the Governors characteristic res
ponse:-
BATON ROUGE. La,
Nov. Is, '87.
Colonel D. F. Boyd, Baton Rouge, La
DEAR SIR-On the LIST of November re-
ceived through you, verbally, an invita-
ton on behalf of the Directors Of the Cen
trail Louisiana Fair Association, to deliver
one of the addresses of welcome on the oc-
casion of the opening of the Fair. This
was a compliment that ! appreciated and
one that is usually awarded to the Execu.
tive of the State at the capital. l have
performed this duty on several occasions,
at the city of Baton Rouge, at times when
the city has been visited by distinguished
personages from abroad. 1t would have
afforded ME pleasure on the occasion Of
the opening of the fair, to welcome visi
tors to the capital city and again cal
their attention to its grand historical as
sociations, its healthful locality, its ad
vantages for manufacturing interests and
its unsurpassed advantages for residence
OH account of it's school and college facil
itie<, and the refinement and culture o,
its citizens. But on my return here
find that there has been some hesitancy
on the part Of the supporters of General
Nichols to aid and encourage the fair
because Of the fact that an invitation had
heen extended to me to deliver an ad
dress of welcome. am anxious for the
success Of the fair. l desire to see q vast
cOncourse of citizens from our State in at
tennance, and many from our sister States
and want to see a display worthy of the
enterprise, energy and intelligence of the
people of Baton Rouge. l am, therefore
not willing TO do anything that would
withhold from tho fair one cent of con
tribution or ono effort that would make
it a success. There are in the list Of oh
jectors to my appearance at the Fair,
am glad to say, but very few of Bator
Rouge's patriotic citizens; but the money
contributions of these few will help
Therefore, 1 respectfully decline to deliv
er the address of welcome ON behalf of tn,
State. 1 sincerely thank you for tn,
compliment which You have rendered me
and in conclusion let me say in my pri
vate capacity l will do all can to ait
and assist in making the Fair what i
ought to be-a great success.
Very respectfully yours,

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at Jacob Geigers
Drug Store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of

this very valuable article from the fact
that it always cures and never disap-
